Abstract:

The aim of the study is to evaluate hypertensive disorders during pregnancy and perinatal outcomes. A retrospective analysis of data from 69 pregnant women divided into three groups is presented: control (without hypertension), with gestational hypertension, and chronic hypertension. Blood pressure, pulse, and neonatal parameters (weight, height, and Apgar scale) were assessed. The results showed that pregnant women with hypertension had a significant increase in systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to the control group. In the group with gestational hypertension, a decrease in the weight and height of newborns was found, indicating a negative effect of hypertension on fetoplacental blood flow. In chronic arterial hypertension, an increase in blood pressure was observed, but neonatal parameters remained at the level of the control group. The data obtained confirm the clinical basis for early diagnosis and timely treatment of hypertensive disorders in pregnant women in order to reduce the risk of adverse perinatal outcomes.
